Spice Gill Farmhouse

Spice Gill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1678 on the lintel of a re-located doorway, but mostly built between 1860 and 1870, incorporating a rear wing that dates to the late 17th century. The main part of the building is constructed from snecked rubble with quoins and has a stone slate roof, while the rear wing is made of slobbered random rubble, also with a stone slate roof. The structure has a square plan, featuring a double-fronted main range from the 19th century and a 17th-century range forming the rear wing, along with an added full-height outshut at the rear angle.

The exterior of the 19th-century front range is two storeys high with three windows, presenting an almost symmetrical façade. It includes a small gabled porch made of stone slate slabs that protects a shallow triangular-headed doorway, which has a moulded surround and a lintel featuring an arched panel with foliated decoration, flanked by oblong panels with raised lettering "IM:" "1678". The doorway is fitted with a 19th-century panelled door. The ground floor has two hornless sash windows with margin panes, while the upper floor features three smaller similar windows. The heads of the ground floor windows are flanked by small carved stones, possibly re-used terminals from former hoodmoulds. The building has corniced gable chimneys.

The 17th-century rear wing, facing east, has a wide but low gabled porch at the junction, with a pair of square windows that were originally two-light mullioned windows, now lacking the mullions and fitted with 4-pane glazing. The first floor has a similar pair of windows, now with 2-pane glazing, and a gable chimney.

Inside, the rear wing, which is now used as a kitchen, features two chamfered axial beams with original joists, and a 17th-century panelled door leading into the 19th-century addition.

Historically, the 19th-century addition is said to have been built for an engineer involved in the construction of the Settle to Carlisle Railway.
